Episode #422: He has a Padawan
Episode Notes
There are actually six lightsaber hilts in that box - thanks to last year's Star Wars Advent Calendar (it came with 10 light-blueish grey ones). It was the glut of hilts that gave me the inspiration for the whole Black Market laser sword storyline.
Transcript
- Panel 1: Semaphore and the Mechanic are standing next to an open chest containing several laser swords.
- Mechanic:
- So, is this another return and repair job then?
- Semaphore:
- Yeah, the ADU confiscated this lot last week.
- I'm taking them back to reconditioned and resold!
- Mechanic:
- Well, it's a relief to see you get over your squeamishness with this whole dodgy laser sword thing.
- Panel 2:
- Mechanic:
- And thanks again for neutralising the tracking device.
- I should have guessed those guys were actually Space Agency really, nobody else can act that genuinely gullible!
- Doesn't Fred {{see episodes #383-#385}} usually deal with meeting the boss?
- Panel 3:
- Semaphore:
- Fred's at home, completely legless.
- Mechanic:
- Oh, crazy night out?
- Semaphore:
- Uh, no last week he tried to use one of the laser swords and he's now literally leg-less.
- Which is why I'm off to Cynaptix IV
- Panel 4: Semaphore is closing the chest of laser swords.
- Mechanic:
- Well, when you get there, pass on my thanks to Squidman for me.
- Everything I know about selling, I learned from him!
- Semaphore:
- Squidman is there?
- Mechanic:
- Yes, is he a friend of yours?
- Semaphore:
- You could say that.
